ABSTRACT
In order to ascertain prevalence rate of premarital sexual intercourse, unintended pregnancy and abortion, and evaluate associated factors of unintended pregnancy among undergraduates from all over China, the representative sample of unmarried undergraduates was obtained by using a multi-stage, stratified, probability cluster design, and data were collected by using a survey questionnaire. 62 326 available responders were gained. 11.6% of them acknowledged having experiences of premarital sexual intercourse (standardized prevalence rate of sexual intercourse was 13.8%). 31.5% of students active in premarital sex acknowledged undergoing unintended pregnancy. 76.2% of pregnant students selected abortion to end it. Of students active in premarital sex, 46.2% used contraception at the first sexual intercourse, 28.2% replied "always" using contraception in sexual intercourse. The rate of using condoms, oral contraceptives (OCs), and withdrawal among students who had used contraception was 52.0%, 31.0%, and 27.2% respectively. "No preparation for sex" (40.3%), "pleasure decrement" (32.1%), "won't-be-pregnancy in occasional sexual intercourse" (30.2%) were their common excuses for using no contraception. The identified risk factors for unintended pregnancy among students active in premarital sex by multivariate analysis were as follows: having no steady lover [having no steady lover vs having a steady lover: odds ratio (OR), 1.875; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.629-2.158], unaware of the course of conception (unaware vs aware: OR, 2.023; 95% CI, 1.811-2.260), considering abortion not endanger women's physical and mental health (no endangerment vs endangerment: OR, 2.659; 95% CI, 2.265-3.121), nonuse of contraception (never use vs always use: OR, 1.682; 95% CI, 1.295-2.185). Medical students were not less likely to experience an unintended pregnancy than nonmedical students (OR, 1.111; 95% CI, 0.906-1.287). The substantial proportion of unintended pregnancy among undergraduates indicates a need for convenient and targeted contraceptive education and services.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the meshed capillary pattern(CP)on the surface of colorectal lesions by narrow-band imaging system with magnifying endoscopy(NBI-ME),and to distinguish neoplasm from non-neoplasm by the change of capillary patterns.Methods A total of 144 colorectal lesions in 102 patients detected by conventional colonoscopy were evaluated by NBI-ME to observe the CP on surface,and by staining magnifying colonoscopy to observe the pit pattern.Results All lesions were resected endoscopically (129/144)or by surgery(15/144),and the pathological evaluation diagnosed 30 cases of non-neoplasm (including 20 cases of hyperproliferative polyps and 10 of inflammatory polyps)and 1 14 cases of neoplasm (including 95 cases of adenoma and 19 cases of adenocarcinoma).The diagnostic accuracy rate,sensitivity and specificity of conventional colonoscopy were 75.7%,85.1%and 40.O%,respectively,which were significantly lower than those of NBI-ME and staining magnifying colonoscopy(P＜0.005),while there was no significant difference between NBI-ME and staining magnifying colonoscopy.The CP of type Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅳ and Ⅵa were totally correspondent with pit pattern of type Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅳ and ⅤI. Conclusion NBI-ME findings of colorectal lesions correlated with those of staining magnifying colonoscopy.These two techniques are both helpful in differentiating colorectal neoplasms from non-neoplasms.
